weird noise

kevcos

Shifting Up
When I brake in my s11a there is a knocking noise coming from underneath. I have an idea it is the propshaft but any other ideas welcome. It seemed to start when I changed from 205/16 to 7.50/16 tyres.

Thankyou in advance

kev:D :D
 
Knock, knock

Check the propshaft sleeve joint. Pump some grease in it. I had (have) a similar problem on the overrun after I fitted bigger tyres. The sleeve joint will have moved slightly due to the slightly diferent angle as the tyres are taller and now knocks. Alternatively you will be pressing the brakes a bit harder for the same stopping power (bigger circumference of wheel lessens the braking effect for a given effort) so you may have a slightly oval drum.
